Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4742. [PMID: 38731962 PMCID: PMC11083822 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25094742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
ADORA2A (adenosine A2a receptor) and ADORA2B propagate immunoregulatory signals, including restricting both innate and adaptive immunity, though recent data also suggest a tumor suppressor effect in certain settings. We evaluated the RNA expression from 514 tumors in a clinical-grade laboratory; 489 patients with advanced/metastatic disease had clinical outcome correlates. Transcript expression was standardized to internal housekeeping genes and ranked (0-100 scale) relative to 735 specimens from 35 different cancer types. Transcript abundance rank values were defined as "low/moderate" (0-74) or "high" (75-100) percentile RNA expression ranks. Overall, 20.8% of tumors had high ADORA2A (≥75 percentile RNA rank). The greatest proportion of high ADORA2A expressors was found in neuroendocrine and breast cancers and sarcomas, whereas the lowest was found in colorectal and ovarian cancers, albeit with patient-to-patient variability. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, there was a significant positive correlation between high ADORA2A RNA expression and a high expression of the immune checkpoint-related molecules PD-1 (p = 0.015), VISTA (p ≤ 0.001), CD38 (p = 0.031), and CD39 (p ≤ 0.001). In 217 immunotherapy-treated patients, high ADORA2A did not correlate significantly with progression-free (p = 0.51) or overall survival (OS) (p = 0.09) from the initiation of the checkpoint blockade. However, high versus not-high ADORA2A transcript expression correlated with longer OS from the time of advanced/metastatic disease (N = 489 patients; (HR 0.69 (95% CI 0.51-0.95) (p = 0.02)). Therefore, high ADORA2A transcript levels may be a favorable prognostic factor, unrelated to immunotherapy. Importantly, ascertaining co-expression patterns of ADORA2A with PD-1 and VISTA in individual tumors as a basis for the precision co-targeting of ADORA2A and these other checkpoint-related molecules warrants investigation in clinical trials.

Abstract
Chemokine ligand 11 is a member of the CXC chemokine family and exerts its biological function mainly through binding to CXCR3 and CXCR7. The CXCL11 gene is ubiquitously overexpressed in various human malignant tumors; however, its specific mechanisms vary among different cancer types. Recent studies have found that CXCL11 is involved in the activation of multiple oncogenic signaling pathways and is closely related to tumorigenesis, progression, chemotherapy tolerance, immunotherapy efficacy, and poor prognosis. Depending on the specific expression of its receptor subtype, CXCL11 also has a complex 2-fold role in tumours; therefore, directly targeting the structure-function of CXCL11 and its receptors may be a challenging task. In this review, we summarize the biological functions of CXCL11 and its receptors and their roles in various types of malignant tumors and point out the directions for clinical applications.

Abstract
Atypical chemokine receptors (ACKRs) are seven-transmembrane cell surface protein receptors expressed in immune cells, normal mesenchymal cells, and several tumor cells. As of this writing, six ACKRs have been characterized by diverse activities. They bind both cysteine-cysteine (CC) type and cysteine-X-cysteine (CXC)-type chemokines, either alone, or together with a ligand bound-functional G-protein coupled (typical) chemokine receptor. The major structural difference between ACKRs and typical chemokine receptors is the substituted DRYLAIV amino acid motif in the second intracellular loop of the ACKR. Due to this substitution, these receptors cannot bind Gαi-type G-proteins responsible for intracellular calcium mobilization and cellular chemotaxis. Although initially characterized as non-signaling transmembrane receptors (decoy receptors) that attenuate ligand-induced signaling by GPCRs, studies of all ACKRs have shown ligand-independent and ligand-dependent transmembrane signaling in both non-tumor and tumor cells. The precise function and mechanism of the differential expression of ACKRs in many tumors are not understood well. The use of antagonists of ACKRs ligands has shown limited antitumor potential; however, depleting ACKR expression resulted in a reduction in experimental tumor growth and metastasis. The ACKRs represent a unique class of transmembrane signaling proteins that regulate growth, survival, and metastatic processes in tumor cells, affecting multiple pathways of tumor growth. Therefore, closer investigations of ACKRs have a high potential for identifying therapeutics which affect the intracellular signaling, preferentially via the ligand-independent mechanism.

Abstract
Microglia are observed in the early developing forebrain and contribute to the regulation of neurogenesis through still unravelled mechanisms. In the developing cerebral cortex, microglia cluster in the ventricular/subventricular zone (VZ/SVZ), a region containing Cxcl12-expressing basal progenitors (BPs). Here we show that the ablation of BP as well as genetic loss of Cxcl12 affect microglia recruitment into the SVZ. Ectopic Cxcl12 expression or pharmacological blockage of CxcR4 further supports that Cxcl12/CxcR4 signalling is involved in microglial recruitment during cortical development. Furthermore, we found that cell death in the developing forebrain triggers microglial proliferation and that this is mediated by the release of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Finally, we show that the depletion of microglia in mice lacking receptor for colony-stimulating factor-1 (Csf-1R) reduces BPs into the cerebral cortex.

Abstract
It is known that the chemokine receptor CXCR7 (RDC1) can be engaged by both chemokines CXCL12 (SDF-1) and CXCL11 (I-TAC), but the exact expression pattern and function of CXCR7 is controversial. CXCR7 expression seems to be enhanced during pathological inflammation and tumor development, and emerging data suggest this receptor is an attractive therapeutic target for autoimmune diseases and cancer. CXCR7/CXCR4 heterodimerization, β-arrestin-mediated signaling, and modulation of CXCL12 responsiveness by CXCR7 suggest that the monogamous CXCR4/CXCL12 signaling axis is an oversimplified model that needs to be revisited. Consequently, research into CXCR7 biology is of great interest and further studies are warranted. This review summarizes recent findings about the CXCR7 receptor and analyses its impact on understanding the roles of CXCL12 biology in health and disease.

Abstract
Although chemokines are well established to function in immunity and endothelial cell activation and proliferation, a rapidly growing literature suggests that CXC Chemokine receptors CXCR3, CXCR4 and CXCR7 are critical in the development and progression of solid tumors. The effect of these chemokine receptors in tumorigenesis is mediated via interactions with shared ligands I-TAC (CXCL11) and SDF-1 (CXCL12). Over the last decade, CXCR4 has been extensively reported to be overexpressed in most human solid tumors and has earned considerable attention toward elucidating its role in cancer metastasis. To enrich the existing armamentarium of anti-cancerous agents, many inhibitors of CXCL12-CXCR4 axis have emerged as additional or alternative agents for neo-adjuvant treatments and even many of them are in preclinical and clinical stages of their development. However, the discovery of CXCR7 as another receptor for CXCL12 with rather high binding affinity and recent reports about its involvement in cancer progression, has questioned the potential of "selective blockade" of CXCR4 as cancer chemotherapeutics. Interestingly, CXCR7 can also bind another chemokine CXCL11, which is an established ligand for CXCR3. Recent reports have documented that CXCR3 and their ligands are overexpressed in different solid tumors and regulate tumor growth and metastasis. Therefore, it is important to consider the interactions and crosstalk between these three chemokine receptors and their ligand mediated signaling cascades for the development of effective anti-cancer therapies. Emerging evidence also indicates that these receptors are differentially expressed in tumor endothelial cells as well as in cancer stem cells, suggesting their direct role in regulating tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. In this review, we will focus on the signals mediated by this receptor trio via their shared ligands and their role in tumor growth and progression.

Abstract
The use of stem cells is considered a promising therapy for tissue regeneration and repair, particularly for tissues injured through degeneration, ischemia and inflammation. Bone marrow (BM)-derived haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are rare populations of multipotent stem cells that have been identified as promising potential candidates for treating a broad range of conditions. Although research into the use of stem cells for regenerative medicine is on a steep upward slope, clinical success has not been as forthcoming. This has been primarily attributed to a lack of information on the basic biology of stem cells, which remains insufficient to justify clinical studies. In particular, while our knowledge on the molecular adhesive mechanisms and local environmental factors governing stem cell homing to BM is detailed, our understanding of the mechanisms utilized at injured sites is very limited. For instance, it is unclear whether mechanisms used at injured sites are location specific or whether this recruitment can be modulated for therapeutic purposes. In addition, it has recently been suggested that platelets may play an important role in stem cell recruitment to sites of injury. A better understanding of the mechanisms used by stem cells during tissue homing would allow us to develop strategies to improve recruitment of these rare cells. This review will focus on the status of our current understanding of stem cell homing to injured tissues, the role of platelets and directions for the future.

Abstract
This review summarizes recent developments that have contributed to our understanding of how adenosine 2A receptors (A2ARs) modulate brain damage in various animal models of acute neurological injuries, including brain ischemia, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and hemorrhage stroke. The main conclusions are: (1) pharmacological, neurochemical and molecular/genetic approaches to the complex actions of A2AR in different cellular elements suggest that A2AR activation exerts bidirectional effect (detrimental or protective) after brain insults; (2) modulation of glutamate excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation are involved in the protection of A2AR agonists or antagonists, but the bidirectional effect of A2AR is largely due to the bidirectional regulation of neuroinflammation (anti-inflammation or proinflammation) by A2AR on immune cells such as microglia cells and peripheral bone marrow cells; and (3) the bidirectional effect of A2AR on neuroinflammation and brain injury depends on the distinct and sometimes opposite actions of A2AR in various cellular elements and on different injury models and associated pathological conditions. The local glutamate level in the brain injury is one of the crucial factors that contribute to the direction of A2AR effect on neuroinflammation and brain injury outcome. These developments presented here clearly highlight the complexity of using A2AR agents therapeutically in acute neuronal injuries and confirm that A2AR ligands have many promising characteristics that encourage the pursuit of their full therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Although the cardinal manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD) are attributed to a decline in dopamine levels in the striatum, a breadth of non-motor features and treatment-related complications in which the serotonergic system plays a pivotal role are increasingly recognised. Serotonin (5-HT)-mediated neurotransmission is altered in PD and the roles of the different 5-HT receptor subtypes in disease manifestations have been investigated. The aims of this article are to summarise and discuss all published preclinical and clinical studies that have investigated the serotonergic system in PD and related animal models, in order to recapitulate the state of the current knowledge and to identify areas that need further research and understanding.

Abstract
CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling is critical for cortical interneuron migration and their final laminar distribution. No information is yet available on CXCR7, a newly defined CXCL12 receptor. Here we demonstrated that CXCR7 regulated interneuron migration autonomously, as well as nonautonomously through its expression in immature projection neurons. Migrating cortical interneurons coexpressed Cxcr4 and Cxcr7, and Cxcr7(-/-) and Cxcr4(-/-) mutants had similar defects in interneuron positioning. Ectopic CXCL12 expression and pharmacological blockade of CXCR4 in Cxcr7(-/-) mutants showed that both receptors were essential for responding to CXCL12 during interneuron migration. Furthermore, live imaging revealed that Cxcr4(-/-) and Cxcr7(-/-) mutants had opposite defects in interneuron motility and leading process morphology. In vivo inhibition of Gα(i/o) signaling in migrating interneurons phenocopied the interneuron lamination defects of Cxcr4(-/-) mutants. On the other hand, CXCL12 stimulation of CXCR7, but not CXCR4, promoted MAP kinase signaling. Thus, we suggest that CXCR4 and CXCR7 have distinct roles and signal transduction in regulating interneuron movement and laminar positioning.

Abstract
Chemokines and their receptors regulate the trafficking of immune cells during their development, inflammation, and tissue repair. The single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1801157 (previously known as CXCL12-A/ stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF1)-3'A) in CXCL12/SDF1 gene was assessed in breast cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), since the chemokine CXCL12, previously known as SDF1, and its receptor CXCR4 regulate leukocyte trafficking and many essential biological processes, including tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis of different types of tumors. Genotyping was performed by PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism) using a restriction enzyme HpaII cleavage. No significant difference was observed in genotype distribution between breast cancer patients (GG: 57.3%; GA: 39.8%; AA: 2.9%) and healthy female controls (GG: 62.9%; GA: 33%; AA: 4.1%) nor between HL patients (GG: 61.1%; GA:27.8%; AA: 11.1%) and healthy controls (GG: 65.6%; GA: 28.9%; AA: 5.5%), whereas a significant difference was observed in genotype distribution between NHL patients (GG: 51.4%; GA: 47.1%; AA: 1.5%) and healthy controls (GG: 65.6%; GA: 28.9%; AA: 5.5%). Further studies will be necessary to elucidate the cancer chemokine network. However, this study suggests that CXCL12 rs1801157 polymorphism may have important implications in the pathogenesis of NHL.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chemokine receptor expression by human trophoblast and other placental cells have important implications for understanding the regulation of placental growth, development, and their role in maternofetal HIV transmission. CXCR7, now a deorphanized G protein coupled receptor that has been recently shown to bind to the ligands ITAC and CXCL12 has been proposed to act as a co-receptor for HIV-1, HIV-2, and SIV strains. The differential expression of CXCR7 in the human placenta is not yet reported. METHODS The expression of CXCR7 was studied in 45 different human placental tissues, of which 20 were from early placental tissues (8-10 week old) obtained from medically terminated pregnancies and 25 were placenta from normal term deliveries. RESULTS Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR analysis revealed a greater expression of CXCR7 in term human placenta as compared to the early stage. This was further confirmed by real-time PCR. CONCLUSION Our study reveals, for the first time, the differential expression of CXCR7 in early (8-10 weeks) and term human placenta. The precise role of CXCR7 in the human placenta needs to be determined. HIV vertical transmission is reported to occur mainly during the end stages of pregnancy. Our finding of increased CXCR7 expression in the term human placenta therefore warrants future studies to assess its role in the vertical transmission of HIV-1.

Abstract
CXCR7, formerly called RDC1 is a recently deorphanized G-protein coupled receptor which binds with high affinity the inflammatory and homing chemokines CXCL11/ITAC and CXCL12/SDF-1. Despite its phylogenetic relation and ligand binding properties CXCR7 does not mediate typical chemokine receptor responses such as leukocyte trafficking. Recent findings in zebrafish indicate that a critical activity of the receptor is scavenging of CXCL12 thereby generating guidance cues for CXCR4-dependent migration. The observations do not exclude the possibility that the receptor is capable of inducing signal transduction which is suggestive from studies of tumor growth and survival. The pronounced expression in central and peripheral nervous tissue and the absence of a brain phenotype in CXCR7(-/-) mice suggest a subtle activity of the receptor.

Abstract
CXCR3 ligands were secreted by tissue fibroblasts and peripheral blood-derived mononuclear leukocytes in response to interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands. Subsequent purification and identification revealed the presence of truncated CXCL11 variants missing up to 6 amino acids. In combination with CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase IV, the metalloprotease aminopeptidase N (APN), identical to the myeloid cell marker CD13, rapidly processed CXCL11, but not CXCL8, to generate truncated CXCL11 forms. Truncated CXCL11 had reduced binding, signaling, and chemotactic properties for lymphocytes and CXCR3- or CXCR7-transfected cells. CD13/APN-truncated CXCL11 failed to induce an intracellular calcium increase but was still able to bind and desensitize CXCR3 for intact CXCL11 signaling. CXCL11 efficiently bound to CXCR7, but CXCL11 was not able to induce calcium signaling or ERK1/2 or Akt phosphorylation through CXCR7. CD26-truncated CXCL11 failed to attract lymphocytes but still inhibited microvascular endothelial cell (HMVEC) migration. However, further processing of CXCL11 by CD13 resulted in significant reduction of inhibition of HMVEC migration. Taken together, during inflammation or cancer, CXCL11 processing by CD13 may lead to a reduced number of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and in a more angiogenic environment.

Abstract
The chemokine stromal cell–derived factor (SDF-1; also known as chemokine ligand 12 [CXCL12]) regulates many essential biological processes, including cardiac and neuronal development, stem cell motility, neovascularization, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis. It is generally believed that SDF-1 mediates these many disparate processes via a single cell surface receptor known as chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). This paper characterizes an alternate receptor, CXCR7, which binds with high affinity to SDF-1 and to a second chemokine, interferon-inducible T cell α chemoattractant (I-TAC; also known as CXCL11). Membrane-associated CXCR7 is expressed on many tumor cell lines, on activated endothelial cells, and on fetal liver cells, but on few other cell types. Unlike many other chemokine receptors, ligand activation of CXCR7 does not cause Ca2+ mobilization or cell migration. However, expression of CXCR7 provides cells with a growth and survival advantage and increased adhesion properties. Consistent with a role for CXCR7 in cell survival and adhesion, a specific, high affinity small molecule antagonist to CXCR7 impedes in vivo tumor growth in animal models, validating this new receptor as a target for development of novel cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
In this review we outline the unique effects of the autacoid adenosine in the kidney. Adenosine is present in the cytosol of renal cells and in the extracellular space of normoxic kidneys. Extracellular adenosine can derive from cellular adenosine release or extracellular breakdown of ATP, AMP, or cAMP. It is generated at enhanced rates when tubular NaCl reabsorption and thus transport work increase or when hypoxia is induced. Extracellular adenosine acts on adenosine receptor subtypes in the cell membranes to affect vascular and tubular functions. Adenosine lowers glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by constricting afferent arterioles, especially in superficial nephrons, and acts as a mediator of the tubuloglomerular feedback, i.e., a mechanism that coordinates GFR and tubular transport. In contrast, it leads to vasodilation in deep cortex and medulla. Moreover, adenosine tonically inhibits the renal release of renin and stimulates NaCl transport in the cortical proximal tubule but inhibits it in medullary segments including the medullary thick ascending limb. These differential effects of adenosine are subsequently analyzed in a more integrative way in the context of intrarenal metabolic regulation of kidney function, and potential pathophysiological consequences are outlined.

Abstract
Combined phylogenetic and chromosomal location studies suggest that the orphan receptor RDC1 is related to CXC chemokine receptors. RDC1 provides a co-receptor function for a restricted number of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) isolates, in particular for the CXCR4-using HIV-2 ROD strain. Here we show that CXCL12, the only known natural ligand for CXCR4, binds to and signals through RDC1. We demonstrate that RDC1 is expressed in T lymphocytes and that CXCL12-promoted chemotaxis is inhibited by an anti-RDC1 monoclonal antibody. Concomitant blockade of RDC1 and CXCR4 produced additive inhibitory effects in CXCL12-induced T cell migration. Furthermore, we provide evidence that interaction of CXCL12 with RDC1 is specific, saturable, and of high affinity (apparent KD approximately 0.4 nM). In CXCR4-negative cells expressing RDC1, CXCL12 promotes internalization of the receptor and chemotactic signals through RDC1. Collectively, our data indicate that RDC1, which we propose to rename as CXCR7, is a receptor for CXCL12.

Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is involved in the development of lymphoproliferative diseases and Kaposi's sarcoma. The oncogenicity of this virus is reflected in vitro by its ability to transform B cells and endothelial cells. Infection of dermal microvascular endothelial cells (DMVEC) transforms the cells from a cobblestone-like monolayer to foci-forming spindle cells. This transformation is accompanied by dramatic changes in the cellular transcriptome. Known oncogenes, such as c-Kit, are among the KSHV-induced host genes. We previously showed that c-Kit is an essential cellular component of the KSHV-mediated transformation of DMVEC. Here, we test the hypothesis that the transformation process can be used to discover novel oncogenes. When expression of a panel of KSHV-induced cellular transcripts was inhibited with antisense oligomers, we observed inhibition of DMVEC proliferation and foci formation using antisense molecules to RDC1 and Neuritin. We further showed that transformation of KSHV-infected DMVEC was inhibited by small interfering RNA directed at RDC1 or Neuritin. Ectopic expression of Neuritin in NIH 3T3 cells resulted in changes in cell morphology and anchorage-independent growth, whereas RDC1 ectopic expression significantly increased cell proliferation. In addition, both RDC1- and Neuritin-expressing cells formed tumors in nude mice. RDC1 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor, whereas Neuritin is a growth-promoting protein known to mediate neurite outgrowth. Neither gene has been previously implicated in tumorigenesis. Our data suggest that KSHV-mediated transformation involves exploitation of the hitherto unrealized oncogenic properties of RDC1 and Neuritin.

Abstract
Genetic factors play a major role in the etiology of schizophrenia and disturbances of serotonergic pathways have been implicated in this disorder. The aim of the present study was to examine genetic association between schizophrenia and polymorphisms in the 5-HT1Dalpha (TaqI) and 5-HT1Dbeta (T261G and G861C) autoreceptor genes in ninety trios from Portugal. No association or linkage disequilibrium was obtained between schizophrenia and 5-HT1Dalpha and 5-HT1Dbeta autoreceptor genes with both haplotype relative risk (HRR) and transmission disequilibrium test (TDT). Concerning 5-HT1Dbeta autoreceptor gene, also negative results was obtained in the analysis of the haplotypes with transmit. Thus, our data provide no support for the hypothesis that polymorphisms at 5-HT1Dalpha (TaqI) and 5-HT1Dbeta (T261G and G861C) genes contributes to susceptibility to schizophrenia in the Portuguese population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alterations in dopaminergic and serotonergic systems have been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia for many years. This study was performed to assess the possible involvement of the dopamine receptor genes D2 (DRD2), D3, D4, serotonin receptor genes 1Da, 1Db, and 2A in the etiology of schizophrenia. METHODS We examined 33 multiplex schizophrenic families from Portugal. RESULTS Linkage analysis performed by GENEHUNTER showed nonsignificant linkage for these genes. A maximum nonparametric linkage score of 1.635 (P=.032) at DRD2 gene was observed, and this finding suggests DRD2 gene for further studies. CONCLUSION the polymorphisms studied at dopamine receptor genes D3, D4, serotonin receptor genes 1Da, 1Db, and 2A do not have a major effect in susceptibility to schizophrenia in a Portuguese population.

Abstract
Serotonergic and opioidergic neurotransmitter system alterations have been observed in people with eating disorders; the genes for the serotonin 1D receptor (HTR1D) and the opioid delta receptor (OPRD1) are found on chr1p36.3-34.3, a region identified by our group in a linkage analysis of anorexia nervosa (AN). These candidate genes were evaluated for sequence variation and for linkage and association of this sequence variation to AN in family and case : control data sets. Resequencing of the HTR1D locus and a portion of the OPRD1 locus identified novel SNPs and confirmed existing SNPs. Genotype assay development and genotyping of nine SNPs (four at HTR1D and five at OPRD1) was performed on 191 unrelated individuals fulfilling DSM-IV criteria (w/o amenorrhea criterion) for AN, 442 relatives of AN probands and 98 psychiatrically screened controls. Linkage analysis of these candidate gene SNPs with 33 microsatellite markers in families including relative pairs concordantly affected with restricting AN (N=37) substantially increased the evidence for linkage of this region to restricting AN to an NPL score of 3.91. Statistically significant genotypic, allelic, and haplotypic association to AN in the case : control design was observed at HTR1D and OPRD1 with effect sizes for individual SNPs of 2.63 (95% CI=1.21-5.75) for HTR1D and 1.61 (95% CI=1.11-2.44) for OPRD1. Using genotype data on parents and AN probands, three SNPs at HTR1D were found to exhibit significant transmission disequilibrium (P&<0.05). The combined statistical genetic evidence suggests that HTR1D and OPRD1 or linked genes may be involved in the etiology of AN.

Abstract
Genome-wide linkage studies, examining the relationship between the schizophrenia syndrome(s) and possible susceptibility regions within the human genome have identified multiple regions within which linkage to the syndrome may be explored. No regions have been found to provide supportive evidence for linkage in all cohorts. These findings are consistent with the schizophrenia syndrome being genetically heterogeneous, with genetic susceptibility arising from multiple sites which are differentially distributed in from pedigree to pedigree. The authors present data from an autosomal-wide scan of 30 multiplex pedigrees, each with a mean of 4.1 members affected with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder with respect to regions of interest for linkage with the schizophrenia spectrum disease(s). Partial, though not significant replications of susceptibility sites at D1S518 (P=0.029) described by Shaw et al. (1998: Shaw, S.H., Kelly, M., Smith, A.B., Shields, G., Hopkins, P.J., Loftus, J., Laval, S.H., Vita, A., DeHert, M., Cardon, L.R., Crow, T.J., Sherrington, R., DeLisi, L.E., 1998.

Evidence of a locus for schizophrenia and related disorders on the short arm of chromosome 5 in a large pedigree. Am. J. Med. Genet. 67, 162-171.) were documented using multipoint non-parametric (NPL) statistics. Two additional novel regions worthy of further investigation were identified at D1S1150 (P=0.004) and at D20S171 (P=0.009). Previously reported genomic regions of interest for the schizophrenias are reviewed in the context of the same/flanking markers utilized with the present cohort of pedigrees. The data further suggests that only a fraction of pedigrees multiplex for schizophrenia link at any single susceptibility region.

Abstract
A female infant survived 5(1/2) hours after delivery at 33 weeks gestation. Autopsy showed a lobar variant of holoprosencephaly (HPE). Cytogenetic analysis revealed a 2q37.1-->2q37.3 deletion. This case represents the fourth reported case of HPE associated with partial monosomy 2q37 and the first with an apparent isolated 2q37 deletion. Chromosome segment 2q37.1-->2q37.3 may harbor yet another locus important in forebrain development, which, when disrupted, can lead to brain malformations within the HPE spectrum.

Abstract
cGMP-phosphodiesterase (PDE) is composed of two catalytic (alpha and beta) and two identical inhibitory (gamma) subunits. The human gene (PDE6D) encoding a new subunit (delta) has been characterized and mapped to the long arm of chromosome 2 (HSA2q35-q36) where a new autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (arRP) locus (RP26) has been localized. Characterization of the canine PDE6D shows the gene is about 4.2kb containing four exons interrupted by three introns; the size of the cDNA is 1059bp with an open reading frame (ORF) of 453bp. A single transcript of identical size (1.43kb) was detected in all tissues examined (liver, lung, spleen, kidney, heart, brain and retina), with the highest abundance in the retina. Canine PDE6D has been localized to canine radiation hybrid group 14-a, which extends conserved synteny between the dog, human chromosome 2q and mouse chromosome 1. The characterization of the canine PDE6D gene and its mapping provide important information for testing causal association of the gene with canine retinal degenerations, in particular rod-cone dysplasia 2 (rcd2) in collie dogs. This disease is characterized by abnormal retinal cGMP metabolism due to a deficiency in cGMP-PDE activity, yet the alpha, beta and gamma subunits of PDE have been excluded as candidate gene loci.

Abstract
Several reports have described the occurrence of chromosome abnormalities in autism, a neuro-developmental disorder characterized by social deficits, communication impairment, and a restricted range of interests. These include the fragile X abnormality and 15q duplications. In this report, we describe two cases of chromosome 2q37 and review the literature on this topic. We propose that deletion of the distal portion of the long arm of chromosome 2 (2q37) may be associated with some cases of autism and with a distinct phenotype. Increased awareness of the dysmorphic features associated with 2q37 deletions may aid in the molecular genetic analysis of this chromosome anomaly and clarify its relationship with autism.

Abstract
In the present study, we report the chromosomal localization of the human 5-HT4 receptor gene (HTR4) by the analysis of somatic cell hybrids. Based upon genomic sequences of the HTR4 gene, a primer set was selected that reacted with human genomic DNA but not mouse or hamster genomic DNA. Using monochromosomal hybrid cell lines of the NIGMS Mapping Panel 2 we localized the HTR4 gene to human chromosome 5. To confirm the localization on chromosome 5 and to further sublocalize the HTR4 gene, the radiation hybrid panel RH3 was similarly analysed. Significant linkage was obtained to genetic marker D5S2654. This localizes the HTR4 gene to human chromosome 5q31-q33.

Abstract
In the present study, we report the chromosomal localization of the human 5-HT1F receptor gene (HTR1F) by the analysis of somatic cell hybrids. Based upon the HTR1F cDNA sequence, a primer set that reacted with human genomic DNA but not mouse or hamster genomic DNA was derived from the relatively nonconserved 5'-untranslated and coding region. Using monochromosomal hybrid cell lines of the NIGMS Mapping Panel 2 we localized the HTR1F to human chromosome 3. To confirm the localization on chromosome 3 and to further sublocalize the HTR1F gene, a set of human cell hybrids regionally separating chromosome 3 into 7 regions was similarly analysed. Analysis of this regional panel showed that the HTR1F gene was located proximal to the 3p14.1 breakpoint in hybrid APH14 and distal to the breakpoint in 3p13 in hybrid APH13. This localizes the HTR1F gene to human chromosome 3p13-p14.1.

Abstract
Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by the presence of brachymetaphalangism, short stature, obesity, and mental retardation. Variable biochemical changes many represent either pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) owing to resistance to parathormone (PTH) or pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP) with no hormone resistance. In most cases of AHO, reduced levels of Gs alpha have been found and a number of deactivating mutations in the gene for Gs alpha located on chromosome 20q13 have been described. Recently a number of people with an AHO-like phenotype have been reported in whom a deletion of chromosomal region 2q37 has been found in the absence of biochemical abnormalities or a reduction in Gs alpha activity. We present a further female patient with a cytogenetically visible deletion of 2q37, an AHO-like phenotype, and unusual biochemistry suggesting moderate PTH resistance. The vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor (RDCI) has recently been mapped to 2q37 and we propose that this is a candidate gene, hemizygosity of which affects signal transduction and leads to the AHO-like phenotype found in patients with 2q37 deletions.

Abstract
Despite the presence on band q13 of chromosome 11 of a number of genes predisposing individuals to various human diseases, most of this genomic region remains loosely mapped. Moreover, there is a relative dearth of yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) contigs from genome-wide studies: YACs are irregularly distributed over this chromosomal region and have not been arranged into contigs. We have thus undertaken fine-scale mapping of a 3.2-Mb region flanked by ACTN3 and FGF3. Since this region has demonstrated a high degree of YAC instability, we have established a framework contig by anchoring YACs and cosmids into a high-resolution physical map based on fluorescence in situ hybridization and long-range restriction mapping. The 3.2-Mb area studied includes the boundaries of regions thought to contain genes predisposing individuals to osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, as well as genes driving amplification events in human carcinomas. Another feature of this genomic area is that it cross-hybridizes to nonsyntenic regions of the genome. In addition, it spans the region where syntenic conservation with mouse chromosome 19 ends, making clones that we have anchored there valuable tools in understanding genome evolution.

Abstract
The A1 adenosine receptor (A1AR) exerts important biological effects in the mammalian biology. To provide insights into the role A1AR action in human physiology, we characterized the pharmacologic properties of the human A1AR, examined somatic sites of A1AR gene expression, and identified the chromosomal location of the human A1AR gene. Using stably transfected CHO cells, the ligand binding properties of human and rat A1ARs were directly compared. Saturation studies showed that the human and rat A1ARs had similar high affinity for the A1 agonist [(3)H]CCPA (human, K(d)=517±64 pM; B(max) 438±29 fmol/mg of protein; rat, K(d)=429±69 pM; B(max) 358±76 fmol/mg of protein). Competition studies performed using seven adenosine agonists and four adenosine antagonists also did not detect differences in the ligand binding properties among the rat and human A1ARs. Northern analysis of 16 human tissues revealed the presence of a single hybridizing transcript of 2.5 kb. Human A1AR receptor mRNA expression was greatest in brain and testis; lower levels of A1AR mRNA were present in heart, pancreas, kidney and spleen. Southern blotting and PCR analysis of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids showed that the A1AR gene is on human chromosome 1. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, the human A1AR gene was further localized to the 1q32.1 region. These observations show that the human A1AR is a high affinity receptor that has ligand binding properties similar to the rat A1AR, human A1AR mRNA is heavily expressed in brain and testis, and the gene encoding the human A1AR is present on the long arm of chromosome 1.

Abstract
Eleven genetic markers were typed in 112 unrelated patients with migraine (50 with aura, 62 without aura) and compared with a random sample of healthy individuals. No significant differences were found for the ABO and Rh systems, acid phosphatase 1, phosphoglucomutase 1, adenosine deaminase, haptoglobin, transferrin, alpha-1-antitrypsin, and D1S80. Strong associations between the group of patients with migraine and group-specific component GC 1F-1F and esterase-D ESD 2-2 phenotypes were observed. These associations raise the possibility that a molecular genetic factor for migraine may exist in or near the Group Component (chromosome 4) and Esterase D (chromosome 13) loci, and represent a first comprehensive step in the eventual localization and isolation of the migraine genes.

Abstract
Abnormal brain serotonin function may be characteristic of several neuropsychiatric disorders. Thus, it is important to identify polymorphic genes and screen for functional variants at loci coding for genes that control normal serotonin functions. 5-HT1D beta is a terminal serotonin autoreceptor which may play a role in regulating serotonin synthesis and release. Using an SSCP technique we screened for 5-HT1D beta coding sequence variants in psychiatrically interviewed populations, which included controls, alcoholics, and alcoholic arsonists and alcoholic violent offenders with low CSF concentrations of the main serotonin metabolite 5-HIAA. A common polymorphism was identified in the 5-HT1D beta gene with allele frequencies of 0.72 and 0.28. The SSCP variant was caused by a silent G to C substitution at nucleotide 861 of the coding region. This polymorphism could also be detected as a HincII RFLP of amplified DNA. DNAs from informative CEPH families were typed for the HincII RFLP and analyzed with respect to 20 linked markers on chromosome 6. Multipoint analysis placed the 5-HT1D beta receptor gene between markers D6S286 and D6S275. A maximum two-point lod score of 10.90 was obtained to D6S26, which had been previously localized on 6q14-15. Chromosomal aberrations involving this region have been previously shown to cause retinal anomalies, developmental delay, and abnormal brain development. This region also contains the gene for North Carolina-type macular dystrophy.

Abstract
Sorsby fundus dystrophy is an autosomal dominant disorder which both clinically and histopathologically bears striking similarities to age related macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of blindness in the developed world. Recent studies have suggested a genetic localisation of the disease to chromosome 22q in a large genetic interval of approximately 25 cM. Independent genetic linkage analysis in a six generation British pedigree confirms linkage to the chromosome 22q region. A maximum two point lod score of 7.09 with no recombination was obtained with marker D22S280. Haplotype data positioned the disease between loci D22S275 and D22S278, thus significantly reducing the region on chromosome 22q where the gene is located.

Abstract
In the last few years, molecular biology has led to the cloning and characterization of several 5-HT receptors (serotonin receptors) in vertebrates and in invertebrates. These studies have allowed identification not only of 5-HT receptors already described but also of novel subtypes. The molecular cloning of 13 different mammalian receptor subtypes revealed an unexpected heterogeneity among 5-HT receptors. Except for the 5-HT3 receptors which are ligand-gated ion channel receptors, all the other 5-HT receptors belong to the large family of receptors interacting with G proteins. Based on their amino acid sequence homology and coupling to second messengers these receptors can be divided into distinct families: the 5-HT1 family contains receptors that are negatively coupled to adenylate cyclase: the 5-HT2 family includes receptors that stimulate phospholipase C; the adenylyl cyclase stimulatory receptors are a heterogeneous group including the 5-HT4 receptor which has not yet been cloned, the Drosophila 5-HTdro1 receptor and two mammalian receptors tentatively named 5-HT6 and 5-HT7 receptors. The 5-HT5A and 5-HT5B receptors might constitute a new family of 5-HT receptors whose effectors are unknown. This review focusses on the molecular characteristics of the cloned 5-HT receptors such as their structure, their effector systems and their distribution within the central nervous system. The existence of a large number of receptors with distinct signalling properties and expression patterns might enable a single substance like 5-HT to generate simultaneously a large panel of effects in many brain structures. The availability of the genes encoding these receptors has already allowed a partial characterization of their structure-function relationship and will probably allow in the future a dissection of the contribution of each of these receptor subtypes to physiology and behaviour.

Abstract
The hypothesis that multiple serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) receptors exist was first developed in the 1950s. However, unequivocal proof of 5-HT receptor multiplicity required the availability of molecular biological technologies. Indeed, the multiplicity of 5-HT receptor subtypes, both within and between species, has far exceeded most of the predictions that might have been made on the basis of pharmacological data. Over the past few years, and especially in 1992 and 1993, numerous "new" 5-HT receptors were reported. In this review, the extensive data generated in the past few years are summarized in an evolutionary context.

Abstract
Stimulation of adenosine A2 receptors (with the selective adenosine A2 agonist CGS 21680) in rat striatal membrane preparations, produces a decrease in both the affinity of D2 receptors and the transduction of the signal from the D2 receptor to the G protein. This intramembrane A2-D2 interaction might be responsible for the behavioural depressant effects of adenosine agonists and for the behavioural stimulant effects of adenosine antagonists such as caffeine and theophylline. Dopamine denervation induces an increase in the intramembrane A2-D2 interaction, which may underlie the observed higher sensitivity to the behavioural effects induced by adenosine antagonists found in these animals. The present study was designed to examine if chronic treatment with haloperidol, which also produces dopamine receptor supersensitivity, is also associated with an increase in the intramembrane A2-D2 interaction in the neostriatum and with a higher sensitivity to the behavioural effects induced by adenosine antagonists.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Several lines of evidence indicate that interactions among transmission lines can take place at the level of the cell membrane via interactions among macromolecules, integral or associated to the cell membrane, involved in signal recognition and transduction. The present view will focus on this last subject, i.e., on the interactions between receptors for chemical signals at the level of the neuronal membrane (receptor-receptor interaction). By receptor-receptor interaction we mean that a neurotransmitter or modulator, by binding to its receptor, modifies the characteristics of the receptor for another transmitter or modulator. Four types of interactions among transmission lines may be considered, but mainly intramembrane receptor-receptor interactions have been dealt with in this article, exemplified by the heteroregulation of D2 receptors via neuropeptide receptors and A2 receptors. The role of receptor-receptor interactions in the integration of signals is discussed, especially in terms of filtration of incoming signals, of integration of coincident signals, and of neuronal plasticity.
